From data to discovery – the journey to digital innovation

Digital innovation in healthcare promises much. But potential and realisation are two very different things.
Researchers at Stanford in the US, for example, have developed an AI algorithm designed to diagnose skin cancer[1]. AI diagnosis was compared with that of 21 dermatologists and it matched the efficacy of its human counterparts. This has significant implications for patients, particularly those who find it difficult to access healthcare professionals. But the implications don’t stop there.
